In the past two years, the server rental business has gradually become a conscious choice for users to purchase servers. Today's reporter accidentally discovered a server launched in the form of rental. The price is so low that people can't believe it. Let's take a look at the configuration of this server. :
Processor: Two dual-AMD 64-bit Dual AMD Opteron 200 2.2G. Although we know that the price of AMD CPU is lower than that of Intel, but they are two physical CPUs, which are much faster than one anyway and have more redundancy. Large, and can be upgraded to a dual-core server. The FSB of AMD server CPU is a major selling point. It is no longer called the FSB, but the total frequency between the memory and the processor. The total frequency of this server has reached 12.8GB/ s.
Memory: 10 memory slots. On such a low-priced server motherboard, it’s hard to believe at first. From this alone, we can tell that this is really not a cheap server or entry-level server. , although the standard 1G memory of this machine is a bit small, it can be expanded to a maximum of 10 memories, with a total capacity of 20G. In an era when memory is not expensive, upgrading the memory is not a big problem.
Hard drive: This server supports three hot-swappable SATA hard drive modules. Judging from the fact that the hard drive supports hot-swappable hard drives, it is definitely not an entry-level server configuration. It comes standard with a 250GSATA hard drive. This server supports raid0. 1, 1E, can be used for simultaneous backup of dual hard disks. If a physical problem occurs on one hard disk, it will not affect the use.
Network adapter: The network card is a major configuration of this machine. It actually integrates 4 Gigabit network cards. I think it is almost impossible to find it in servers under 10,000 yuan. The network card of this server is Intel 82541* 2 + 82546 * 1/Four GbE Interface.
Power supply and chassis: The power supply is a Delta power supply used by IBM and HP. 450W is more than enough for this server, but everyone knows how important a good power supply is to the stability of a server and the life of the hard disk. From this point Looking at this server, it can be said that a lot of effort has been put into it. Up to 5 heat dissipation channels are installed inside and outside the chassis to maximize the heat dissipation of the 1u chassis.
From the above configuration, we can see that the configuration and hardware standards of this server are definitely not the standards of an entry-level server. Of course, the configuration may not keep up with the current mainstream 4-core servers, but the price of a mainstream 4-core server is basically 10,000 yuan. The cost of this server plus one year's hosting fee is only 4,950 yuan. You read that right. The editor didn't believe it at the time. Now the mainstream hosting fee is 6k, and the cheapest server hosting fee is more than 4k a year. , we calculated based on the cheapest server hosting cost, this server is only more than 1,000 yuan. With questions in mind, the editor called Beijing Qishang Online, the merchant who launched this server. When asking whether this server is a hype gimmick or real, the answer is that this server is a special server launched by Beijing Qishang Online, and there are no additional conditions for purchasing this server. When asked whether it could be profitable, the answer was that Qishang Online was one of the earliest merchants in China to engage in server rental. It purchases more than a thousand units every year because it has the most upstream server purchase pipeline and the computer room is Qishang Online. With its own machine room, it has a larger space for operation, but with such a limited profit, why should it be sold at such a low price? Because they hope that lower entry barriers will allow more users to experience the high-quality IDC services of Qishang Online, thereby generating more value-added demands. It seems that the era of IDC's low profits has arrived, and merchants have begun to attract users with low profits or even no profits. As a consumer, of course I am happy to see the results. The price/performance ratio of this server is still very high, and it is no different than picking up a server for free. The server plus hosting model saves a lot of trouble for consumers who want to host. Users who are ready to buy a practical and sufficient server can consider it.
